(My new favorite song, warning it will get stuck in you head)
Last night was a pretty spectacular date night. Andy took me to my first demolition derby at the Davis County Fair that’s happening all week. While I’ve never felt more redneck in my life, I’ve got to say it was a total blast! Andy was such a little kid during the race, laughing a giggling (yes ladies my man giggles) at every smash and crash.
As we were finding our seats I found a familiar face in the crowd. One of my little clients
(Fisher) was in the stands with his family and I saw his mom pointing at me, trying to get my attention to say hi. Of course Fish Man got super shy and embarrassed but I waved and called out a hello. Now what does this have to do with anything? Might I explain a little mores as to why this made my night.
After A and I got married I had a huge case of homesickness. I’ve left my friends and family in Boise to start this new life with the man of my dreams in Utah. It was not all fairytales at the start, in fact it was many tears and long phone calls to Idaho every week. I didn’t want A to know about most of it because I didn’t want his feeling hurt or to think I wasn’t happy. I was terrible happy to be married and spending my life with him. I just never felt “home” here in Utah. My “home” has always been Boise and I didn’t want anyone to take that away from me. I feel like the way my week has played out, feelings were bound to be changed.
During sacrament meeting last Sunday we had a speaker who shared a story that I felt like I related to. She also was from Idaho and had to deal with a giant move to New York shortly after she got married. Listening to her story of a changed heart made me determined to have an attitude overhaul. So last night when a familiar face made an effort to say hello I realized that I am home. I have friends and family here. I have a good job where I get to meet new people everyday and make them feel good about themselves. I have clients I can run into at community events! And most importantly I have my sweet loving husband, who has given me everything! It doesn’t matter where we live because home is when we are together. I know that the future will bring lots of moves to new places but those things don’t matter so long as we have each other to lean on and to hold.
